Where God Comes From

de Ira Livingston

Explores how the sublime and miraculous can be found in a whole range of proceses - from chemistry and biology to language and literature and social interactions - and how they loop back on themselves to form complex systems, stitching themselves and their environments together. [It] traces an arc that passes through a series of essay forms: a prose poem in Twitter-length units, a philosophical dialogue, traditional essays, and finally a story. Each is a metacognitive investigation of mystical experience as what happens when consciousness discovers its family resemblances in other processes."--Back cover.
